Gernika stomps

In one stroke, amassing two wins is not bad at all, even though the film is in its early stages. Gernika got rid of Real Sociedad C (2-1) on the opening day and this weekend, Tolosa (0-1). In addition, he has shot different scorers. The Villa Foral team is in luck for this incipient streak. “Yes, yes, you have to take advantage of it. We are good, we have started well and the idea is to continue. Let's see if we can continue like this ”, celebrates Óskar Vales.

The coach of the Gernikarras is happy to take over the scoreboard and for the feelings offered. “Yes, in general we are happy with the games, yes, yes, yes. It can be improved, but little by little we are getting closer to what we want, with the same idea as always. The players know what they play, they can do better or worse, but the truth is that we are happy with the two games we have played so far, “he sums up.

As he knows how this category is spent, the coach opts for caution when setting objectives and more so in the case of a Third Division conditioned by the singularity of the events that occur due to the coronavirus. “It's about going little by little. We are going to set our goals week by week by week, because as he says it is going to be a very complicated league, we will have to adapt to situations week after week and we hope that few things happen in that regard and that everything goes normally, considering the objectives little by little, with the idea of ​​being as high as possible, without any doubt ”, he estimates.

No favorite

He does it with prudence, because when citing Gernika as one of the favorites, caution becomes a little more pronounced due to the prevailing equality. “I don't consider myself more or less favorite than the others. I do believe that we are going to be as high as possible. I don't like the favorites, because I understand that the competition is very even. All teams suffer a lot to win the games. Another thing is what people or the history of the clubs think outside the door, but as a coach I do not consider myself a favorite by any means, “says Vales.

Changing concepts

Under these conditions, Vales and his squad are able to adjust to a script that this year has provided a different brushstroke, leaning towards increasingly decisive aspects in the world of football. “From our point of view, we have changed concepts, we have looked for other things, another player profile, one that attacks faster, with fewer touches, faster and that ends dangerous situations in attack faster,” the former player of the Athletic, determined to have defined qualities.

“We maintain the essence of having the games under the control of the ball and in that we have indeed changed compared to last season. Better or worse? Well, I'll tell you at the end of the championship ”, Vales analyzes without wanting to make comparisons.

Although the virus affected Gernika, now the situation is more gratifying. “The town is now quite calm. We had the case of a player at the beginning, but practically two days after starting the preseason ”, he congratulates himself.

“We have been lucky in the aspect that the working conditions are very good, because the field is practically at our disposal, we have changing rooms for the players and I am not saying that it cannot happen, but the truth is that we are maintaining quite strict rules and at the moment we are having luck and doing things well ”, he celebrates.
